Fashion Notes.

Seine notes on the fashions are always
in order. The latest are as follows:
Big hats are rarely beautiful this sea-
on.
Large buttons are entirely out OF style,
Irvine color is to be in great favor this
summer.
Small combs and fancy pins are worn
all over the high coifure.
Pongee again m to the front as q
material for simmer gowns.
Silk guipure, having the effect of the
softest Irish lace is much used for trim
ming.
Skirts are increasing in width, q sure
premonition OF the re adoption OF crlImo-
line.
Some of the newest French bonnets
have no crowns. but are filled in with
tulle.
MORE of every description is now in
great demand for trimming summer
dresses.
Putty-colored cloth has not a pretty
name. but it is the height OF fashion all
the same.
Some Of the feminine hats look like

Poor little Martha hung her head, and

was throng ever increasing and reach
ing far below them so that the end of
them was far out of sight, and these
people came singly to the foot of the
Saviour and there laid gift which was in
stantly taken by the angels and laid upon
a pair of scales, which did not measure by
the weight of the gift itself, but the
motive which lay like living heart in
side it,
Then Peter Perkins saw that all who
had not yet offered their gift had u bur-
den to carry, large or small, and he sud-

CHRISTMAS MORNING.

Keen blew the wind across the naked void,
Glimmered the snow fields white
Awcary with longing, doubt and pain,
watched the silent night.
All, mel Joy comes and goes, but grief remains
My days shall comfort bring;
But hark Upon the frosty winter air
The Christmas chimings ring.
And, like guilty ghost at breath Of dawn,
My coward meanings fly;
Echoes again tn adoring song that woke
Beneath Judea's sky.
And sweeter, clearer, louder, chime on chime,
Ring out, o. happy bellsi
For every peal With juhilant refrain.
The wondrous tidings tells.
